Being described as funny

[Hunnypieprank]

So I like this chap. I'm on a trainee scheme and he is the one that sort of oversees it. Like my supervisor, line manager.

I'm single and have no knowledge of his relationship status.

He certainly has the " patter" and I seldom see him. But he is a nice chap. While I understand that nothing will happen while I'm there. Not that he been giving me any suggestions.

So today I went of tangent while talking to him. He then mentioned that to me . " do you know something That you are a funny lady." .
And he laughed.

And of course I cringed with delight inside.
I like to think of course that he likes me, starting possiblity of attention or attraction towards me. Or I have his interest.

But I have also been described as funny by an ex colleague. She described me as in

." Oh she so funny.".but not in a malice intention but like oh she has her ways or a bit out there, but not in the context of funny ha ha.

I probably won't feature in his radar. But I like to think being described as funny to him as a positive response but I don't want him thinking I am some sort of rent of laughs persona.

I am not sure if there is a question there. He thinks you are funny, no idea whatsoever if he likes you, he might or he might just think you are funny. I think it is not unusual to find people funny but not be attracted to them.

Women are funny.

he is smart enough to notice it.

I feel like you are not accepting your full value. Don’t make a meal of crumbs.

Your probably right 👍. It's been too long that I'm single. If I knew he was in a relationship this post would be a non starter. And I have no idea how

I guess what I was trying to conveyed is.

He stopped me at my tracks to say that I was funny. As I hoped he liked me, in any way. I felt happy.
Or he could mean he likes a funny lady. Or whatever.
But then I remembered that the other side of being funny mean. That I felt was more of a negative response to me.
And I'm wondering between the 2.
If a man described you as funny, would think there could be something in that?
Or whatever.
Or would you think more of odd remark to someone

I guess funny can mean funny peculiar, which I might not take in a positive way. But in the way you describe this scenario, I think he meant funny funny, which is positive. I don’t think on its own it should be taken to mean anything else, but as mentioned, have no idea if he is attracted to you.

You can work out which meaning of the word funny he ment by thinking about what you said in the lead up surely. Were you trying to be humorous? Did you make a joke or play on words or tell a funny anecdote?

In my experience men don't tend to to use 'funny' to mean odd.

I think you are way overthinking OP.

For your own mental sanity try and put him back in the "oh nice eye candy at work" box and not in the "oh potential partner" box for the time being.

You hardy see him, you don't know if he's single. You don't know if he's straight. He might have decided never to get involved with work colleagues.

Relax, concentrate on your training and job.

I am funny. I do stand up comedy on the side and I know I am funny.

It's my strong experience that men find funny women fun to be around but that it works against attraction quite powerfully.

To me, you're funny means...you're funny. It definitely doesn't mean I fancy you. Sorry.

He may have meant it as in hilarious or odd. He might like either qualities and you might be friend zoned. My anecdotal observation is that women are turned on by sense of humour more than the other way round. I don't think being a funny woman is a priority to most men. They want to be the clowns and performers usually.

Funny means he finds you entertaining. Not attractive. As a PP says, the two sort of work against each other.

Consider investing some time pursuing other interests. It’s not healthy to obsess over this man.

If he wants to communicate to you that he finds you attractive, he will. You're 'looking for signs' like a teenager; get on with your life, rather than fishing about for hints. If you like him, tell him. Ask him out for coffee or something. Do you really want to be wasting your time wondering about what some bloke thinks?

No they don't. Laughing together is one of the hallmarks of a successful relationship. Being called funny means he finds her funny. He may also find her attractive, but one doesn't lead to the other which is why it's unhealthy for OP to be focussing on such scant info.
